Server Files

NFServer: Advanced File Distribution

NFServer is our super-duper file distribution application that makes transparent networking between studios and sites possible. Used over a wide area network, NFServer connects sites in different cities, states or countries. It is useful for synchronizing cuts on multiple workstations, for creating multiple levels of backup and for sharing audio between stations.

One of the major advantages of using NFS over a WAN is that everything happens transparently. Users don’t have to think about putting files in specific folders. NFServer makes sure that all library “vaults” have the most up-to-date files.

Key Features

Share network files and audio transparently
Create hot backups of station audio libraries and other critical files
Keep all files in your network up-to-date with the latest versions

AVImport: Embedded File Transfer

AVImport is an FTP-based tool that is equally at home within single-station and multi-station groups or networks. AVImport allows you to automatically distribute content using an IP connection, either on your local network or over the Internet.

A true FTP server with added AudioVAULT functionality, AVImport can handle more than just AudioVAULT files. Any type of file can be distributed, including software updates, spreadsheets, company memos in any format and even video or Flash files.

AVImport allows you to centralize manpower. Programmers based in New York can easily deliver music schedules to stations in Portland or Puerto Rico. Traffic can be centralized in Kansas City, delivering schedules to sites in Bangor or Barcelona. Production can be created in fully equipped studios in Dallas and automatically delivered to Tokyo or Timbuktu.

Once the remotely created content arrives at the local site, it can automatically be imported into the local AudioVAULT without any manual intervention.

Not only can AVImport deliver content, it can retrieve content just as easily. As-run logs or reconciliations can be gathered from anywhere in the world and pulled back to a central location for billing purposes.

Key Features

Retrieve or deliver practically any type of file using this embedded FTP application
Centralize programming, traffic or production resources, saving you money and increasing efficiency
Automatically import delivered content to your system
Remotely manage and maintain AudioVAULT audio libraries
Automatically gather as-run and reconciliation logs from remote stations

Schedule

AVScheduler: Plays Well with Others

We know you’ve invested a lot of time and money into your music and traffic scheduling programs, so we designed AudioVAULT around open standards. Any scheduling program capable of exporting a schedule file will work with AudioVAULT, making it the most flexible and adaptable interface available today.

With AVScheduler, you can import traffic and music schedules and combine them with events like news, weather, liners, and talk segments. Or, create an integrated event file that lists every event in order from the legal ID at midnight to the last song in the 11 o’clock hour.

To make it even easier, you can completely automate the process of importing schedules, performing schedule checks and sending the completed schedule to AVAir. AVScheduler can constantly scan directories on your station network, so all you have to do is export the schedule from your music or traffic program; AVScheduler will do the rest.

Key Features

Keep your existing music or traffic scheduling program. AVScheduler works with any music or traffic scheduling package capable of exporting an ASCII output file.
Make schedule changes quickly with drag-and-drop interface and send to AVAir for fast and automatic schedule updates
Automate events and event triggers, including updates and timed events
Protect your schedules from unauthorized access with password-protected AVScheduler
Audition audio directly within AVScheduler
Automate music and traffic imports for hands-off operation
Import schedules as far in advance as you have output files…you’re not limited to scheduling only a week in advance

Studio Sync

Peer-to-Peer Synchronization Between Studios

There’s a lot to keep track of in the modern radio operation. That’s where AVHarmony comes in. This AudioVAULT module enables peer-to-peer synchronization, so you can automate background tasks such as replicating logs and coordinating event timers between workstations.

These tools make it practical to control cues throughout a cluster, which can be helpful in an all-news operation running live studios simultaneously. Or, use them to replicate all logs and create order out of event and break timers throughout. And, if a local server should fail, you won’t be stuck scrambling to fill dead air. Our peer-to-peer synchronization module come to the rescue by enabling you to play from other studios in the network harmonized according to station logs and music schedules.

Key Features

Replicate all program logs and status files in a cluster
Create local start/stop and global start/stop cues for coordinating multiple live studios
Play from any other harmonized studio location in the network should a local server go down
